my dogs dying of bone cancer, its getting expensive, what can i do?
Question by Petrek S: my dogs dying of bone cancer, its getting expensive, what can i do?
my dog was recently diagnosed with bone cancer(sniffle)…he was prescribed rimadyl (an anti-inflamatory)…hes been hangn’ in there for about 2 months now, the script is really starting to add up. and being that its simply an anti-inflamatory im wondering if i can substitute it for something over the counter such as advil, tylenol etc….now, im well aware that a vet would never condone this, but im wondering if its a possibility never the less and if so what would be equivalent to 100 mgs of rimadyl?…please, i love my dog very much. and id never sell him short, so im not interested in opinions or speculation… strictly hard facts. your sensitivity and accuracy will be greatly appreciated….also, is there something stronger out there that i can give him(not pain killers)?

It says in the link I provided that a dog can be given advil or tylenol or aspirin.
The key is the dosage – apparently it’s easy to overdose the pet. Ask your vet how much you can give your dog and how often. If he doesn’t want to help with that, try another vet.
I feel for you. I went broke, keeping my dog alive for as long as I could and it was sad. Whatever you decide to do, your dog had a loving owner and a better life than 99 percent of all other dogs.
Good luck.
